Professional & Personalized Care
Is Dry Needling Right for You?
Dry needling is not appropriate for every person or every condition. Your physiotherapist should assess your medical history, symptoms and individual circumstances before deciding whether this technique is suitable.
Your Safety Comes First
Dry needling should be performed by an appropriately trained healthcare professional using suitable sterile equipment and infection-control procedures. Tell your physiotherapist about relevant medical conditions, medications, allergies, pregnancy, bleeding-related concerns or other factors that may affect treatment suitability before your session.
